sunadmn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all!!

I am trying to find out if there are any other good DNS zone parsers out there other than DNS::ZoneParse. The reason being is I need to parse a ton of in-addr records for their data, but alot of them do not have a standard IP -> NAME conversion I have used instead the $GENERATE statement and this PM will not grab all the data. Any help you all may offer would be awsome.

    I've tried Unix::Conf::Bind8 with success. Here's just a silly snippet I was fooling around with that prints the file name of a zone. 

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Unix::Conf::Bind8;

my $namedconf='/path/to/named.conf';
my ($obj, $conf);

$conf = Unix::Conf::Bind8->new_conf (
    FILE => $namedconf,
    SECURE_OPEN => 0
)
or $conf->die ('could not open \'named.conf\':' . $!);

$obj = $conf->get_zone ('example.com')
    or $obj->die ("couldn't get zone `example.com'");

print "\n" . $obj->file . "\n";

    Data::Dumper will reveal the rest of the zone for you.
